Another Take on Smallville Episode 8

Wow!

I use that word a lot when talking about Smallville these days. There’s no need to go on a multi-paragraph tangent, considering Rob has nailed this episode down perfectly (see his post).

This episode just reminds me of an episode of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, an episode in which James Marsters (playing Milton Fine aka Brainiac in Smallvill) was a part of. It was the musical episode and in the final song they sang, “where do we go from here?”

Where does Smallville go from here? This was 5 episodes of storyline plunked into amazing scene after amazing scene. The episode was strong but directionless, in the fact that is leaves so many storylines used up, with no where to go.

The one thing I have to comment on, though, is the brilliant sabotage that Brainiac has played on Clark, making Clark believe that Jor-El was evil when he was indeed, the savior of the people. Pretty awesome stuff.

And, pretty convenient that Chloe was able to save the day. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens. Brainiac will be back, though. February sweeps sounds about right.

And Jonathan Kent is the one that is going to die this season. I’ll put money on it.
